Aqara:

Develco:

I didn't change the reporting thresholds on the Develco

[ionic lagoon]

the consistency is great between them too

[mighty dagger]

Which is amusing since they're in different rooms 😄

Did you have to put them in a very prominent place or are they okay somewhere indirect?

[mighty dagger]

The Xiaomi is mounted high up on the wall, above head height

The Develco is mount in a corner as you would for any other motion sensor

[ionic lagoon]

okay fair enough. I may try hide one underneath a shelf or something

And see if the light intensity it detects is good enough to use

[mighty dagger]

It'll not work so well there

[ionic lagoon]

Needs direct light?

[mighty dagger]

I mounted one on the ceiling and it just didn't work as well, due to the way light falls on it

Not so much direct but more that it wants to see the light you care about

[ionic lagoon]

I get you

Okay I think the thing to do is buy the Develco one and experiment!

It's not very mini - do check the dimensions 😉

(that it takes two AA batteries is a hint, but it's really quite chonky)
